Bigfoot Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Statistically, with the number of members this board has, and the number of PS3s that were sold around the world... no. No one here got one. China took them all. Heh, I actually think one person here has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Well, that Specter guy has (had?) one, and the other poster kupernick (sp?) mentioned getting one at launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specter Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Well, that Specter guy has (had?) one, and the other poster kupernick (sp?) mentioned getting one at launch. Actually, I never got one, the reason why is explained somewhere else that I'm too lazy to find. Mostly it was becasue Fry's was only selling them in $1100 bundle-packs.

PriZm Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I do have one, but it's still in the box waiting to be sold at 2 times the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I do have one, but it's still in the box waiting to be sold at 2 times the price. Considering the prices on eBay have been dropping lately, you may want to settle for only one and a half times the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the prices on eBay have been dropping lately, you may want to settle for only one and a half times the price. Considering some auctions I saw yesterday, he might have to sell at a loss. I saw 60GB PS3s with less than an hour left, going for about 600CAD. They hadn't even hit their reserve price yet. There's also a Walmart in/near Granite City, that has had a 60GB PS3 since the day after launch and it hasn't even been asked after yet. They can't keep the Wii on the shelves, of course.

Hector Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Lets not generalize particulars too much. I visited a store in my area with two Wiis for sale and not a single PS3. Markets are uneven, burps happen, and E-bay oftentimes sells to the people in the worst local markets (i.e., no systems free till March).

Markets are uneven, burps happen, and E-bay oftentimes sells to the people in the worst local markets (i.e., no systems free till March). Watch out. If you sell your PS3 to those markets, Sony will come by and shut you down! Even if it isn't Europe you're selling it to! And most places don't have a single PS3 for sale, and it'd be natural that in some markets there might be a Wii or 2 available. That's just how the numbers work. But that there would still be a launch unit, unopened, sitting and not even being asked for, without an additional shipment, is just silly for such a high demand system.

Petara Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 There's actually still some out there that didn't sell within the first day, if not the first few minutes?? Shouldn't be too suprised I suppose. Guess that's what i get for living in Montana...I think the count was less than fifty total here in Great Falls on that day. Of course I had one reserved 5 months eariler at Sam Goody (the only place that was taking reservations at the time mind you.) However, when I went to pick it up, they told me they didn't get any and weren't going to until sometime NEXT YEAR. A little angry? Yes, you could say that.

Bahamut Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 So I got to play Resistance: Fall of Man a little at EB earlier...and while the graphics were impressive, the controls felt too rigid & slow. I'm not usually an advocate of the keyboard/mouse, but here is a situation where the keyboard/mouse just beats the PS3 controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that the control scheme just felt way too rigid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Looks like the PS3 is turning out to be another PSP. "So hows that movie player/ROM player you got there for $600?" http://gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=21378 C'mon now Sony. This is not looking good for you at all.

Evilhead Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 So it's going to be a solid peice of hardware with many capabilities and a great game library? Sounds awful!

I read the article like three times and didn't notice anything about a year. The guy is basically just whining "OMG THE PS3 IS HARD TO DEVELOP FOR!" Exactly the same as the PS2 launch. He even mentions the PS2 launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilhead Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Who cares, let's just wait till the games start trickling in. Exactly. Especially since it's basically impossible to get your hands on a PS3 for retail price, who cares about the launch titles? By the time I get one there will be plenty of titles to choose from.
